Hi Folks!

Well, we finally got a break from all the heat we've been having here in Alabama. Yesterday was a perfect day to go detecting at the fort where I always go hunting. Started off finding a few wheat pennies here and there, when I got a good dime signal at 3" deep. Dug the target and found my first merc of the day ;)

A few hours or so later, I got a nice dime signal again at 2-1/2" deep and was surprised to see these three mercs laying in the same hole :o After retrieving the mercs, I swung the coil again and dug three wheat pennies that were still in the same hole ;)

I had to reward myself by doing my famous hat trick...the famous AU break dance once again! ;D Shucks, I even had a few fans watching me ::)

Very nice, Congrats!!!
Three Merc's in the same hole, I think, I'd be dancing too...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 
That must have been exciting - finding three merc's in one hole! ;D Very cool. I love those pocket spills, especially with older stuff.

Thanks Nana :D
 
Those are some great looking dimes, and if anyone knows about dimes.... it is me.... The Dimeman ;D ;D
 
Love the look of silver in the ground! I found my first silver coin last week. A silver quarter. I have yet to find a Merc...but I am always hopeful that someday I will.

Sounds like you have a great place to go there. Congratulations on a super day!
